- Marcia Brady gets in trouble for drawing an unflattering picture of her teacher -- and her slumber party gets canceled!
#BradyBunch | Now streaming on Paramount+
Where to watch: para.mt/BradyBunch
The best part is when Mike goes to talk to principal and he asks "Does Mrs Denton really look like this?"
"Yes.....Yes she does"
Robert Reed and EJ Marshall worked together on The Defenders
Marcia had a right to be upset. i mean, when Greg told his parents that the cigarettes that fell out of his jacket weren't his, Mike and Carol believed him IMMEDIATELY.
Would Mike and Carol have reacted differently if Mr. Randolph told them the cigarettes were Greg's? We'll never know.
@@joshtroy344EXACTLY !! They were looking up to Authority back in those days. It was generally trustworthy.
Greg was smoking
@@ihaveinsomnia1 He was, but when confronted he didn't lie about it. And when he STOPPED smoking his parents believed him even though a pack of cigarettes fell out of his jacket. They didn't give Marcia the benefit of the doubt until AFTER she told them off. Heh, can't believe I can almost get worked up over an episode of the freaking Brady Bunch! Worse when I was a little kid and wanted to confront Mike and Carol... "Hey, where's Tiger? You've been keeping his empty house in the backyard for half a decade, but where's the dog??"
i think jenny piccolo did it
Great episode! Marcia judged her friend the same way she was judged. It really shows we need to get the facts before saying anything.
Who did it?
@@LauRa-re9un Paula admitted to Marcia. Marcia did apologize to Jenny a lot better than Carol and Mike did to Marcia. Marcia reinvited Jenny.
Bingo!
Gee, thank you for explaining the lesson to us. We never would’ve figured it out without you.
Jennifer didn’t say Marcia quite enough times. It’s Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.
Lol!😄
I just laughed out loud at this comment 😂
I think the actress who played poor Jenny Wilkes was Sherwood Schwart's daughter. She also played Greg's girlfriend who had the frog land on her head at the Drive-In.
Yes she is. Hope "Sherwood" Juber.
Hope Juber was a terrible actress.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hcWhy do you hope she was a terrible actress? 😃
@@Stephen10528 She said her lines like she was reading a newspaper. Nepotism.
The one thing that I noticed was how much older she appeared to look than Marcia. Almost like Marcia was still in grammar school and Jenny was in high school.
Geez, that was COLD. Poor Jenny
maybe Forrest Gump could invite Jenny to his party , he always loved Jenny
I was always so happy for Marcia, when her mom told her the slumber party was back on!!!
I wasn’t, after how she treated poor Jenny.
@@jaengen Weren't the morals lessons in those episodes awesome? The principal made an assumption about Marcia which was wrong and Marcia turned around and did the exact same thing with her friend Jenny!
I remember this episode I felt so bad and sorry for Marcia that she was accused of something that she didn’t do i believed her and I knew she was telling the truth I’m glad the slumber party was still on
A similar situation happened in the Season 3 Full House episode “Just Say No Way” where Jesse jumps to conclusions saying that DJ was drinking at her school dance but it turned out that she really wasn’t
@@chrispleasantableyep I remember that episode to
I REMEMBER THIS TOO AND I FELT BAD FOR MARCIA BUT SHE DID THE SAME THING TO HER BEST FRIEND JENNY AND THAT WAS NOT NICE
@@hunhun23 True. One difference: At least she realized her error concerning Jenny when she found out that Paula did it, unlike Mike and Carol who jumped to conclusions on Marcia.
@@tylerwilliamson7128 Me three to the POWER OF INFINITY!!! Jesse TICKED ME OFF TO ACCUSE DJ!!! UNLESS STOMACHS HAVE TEETH THERE IS NO WAY DJ WAS DRINKING!!!
This was a well written episode. I particularly liked the confrontation scene between Carol, Mike and Marcia.
Still a good story after all these years. And it was great to have Robert Reed and E.G. Marshall reunited for this episode after their work together on "The Defenders". Thanks so much for sharing it. When I was a kid watching it, Maureen McCormick's realistic scene at 2:28 got to me and made me feel sad for Marcia.
When TV Guide would give a summary of each upcoming episode of the Brady Bunch, for this episode, they didn't say anything about Marcia or the slumber party- they just said, "This episode reunites Robert Reed and E.G. Marshall..."
@@TnseWlms That was probably around the time when "The Defenders" was better known than the two and remained popular in syndication. And "The Brady Bunch" was still a relatively new show at the time.
Robert Reed's daughter, Karen and Florence Henderson's daughter, Barbara also appeared in this episode. They played Marcia's classmates who attended her slumber party.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc Maybe "The Brady Bunch" was much more of a family affair (no pun intended) for the producer and actors than a TV show for the fans. From what I've read, Florence Henderson's and Sherwood Schwartz' daughters also appeared in a couple of episodes for the show's last season. And as a side note, Michael Lookinland's brother played an adopted child for the proposed spinoff "Kelly's Kids" around that time. Just as I said, a family affair on "The Brady Bunch":)
@@TheAverycross You forgot about Christopher Knight's father, Edward , played a game show host on one episode where Bobby Brady was trying to win a contest on a TV game show.
Marcia’s friend, Paula did the printing underneath the drawing but it was only for Marcia to see for a laugh. She didn’t mean to get Marcia in trouble.
Marcia proclaiming her innocence reminded me of Murder She Wrote. A murder occurs, and the cop on the case accuses the wrong person.
The actor playing the principal is E.G. Marshall. He was in the first film version of "12 Anger Men."
What is so illogical about another person adding the comment at the bottom of the drawing? Really, it takes that much deep thinking to realize how that might have happened? And the parents too? I can just see teachers now accusing kids of this sort of thing and how far they'd get.
Reminds me of Murder She Wrote. A murder occurs, and the cop on the case accuses the wrong person.
I know right. Kids share the same desk and there’s no lock to protect its contents.
It was her hand writing .... at least it _looked_ that way..........
The girl who Marcia uninvited to the party went on a date with Greg in a later episode. And on that date, she ended up with a frog on her head! Stay away from those Bradys....
Spoiler alert!!! It wasn't Jenny, it was Paula!! I've seen this episode too many times.😅
It's been spoiled long ago on the board.
4:03 GEE WHIZ, that was low, even for Marcia! It's not like Jenny framed her for something she didn't do! I mean, did Marcia even have any proof that it was Jenny?
It wasn't Jenny.
@@joshtroy344 Tell that to Marcia!
@@waynemacfarland1546 She knows already...........
2:24 Dayum! How could Marica talk her parents like that?😮😮
Ha look how far we progress. Such well mannered kids these days and nothing sexual going on in schools.
Mr Randolph was in Creepshow. He was the weird rich guy who got inundated with cockroaches.
E.G. Marshall , fantastic actor.
Wow I didn't know that
Yes, I remember! The dude with the bad OCD with the communications controller. "Let me call you back...I have this bug problem!' LOL
@@retroguy9494 That's him 😂 😂
Also Christmas Vacation
Why doesn’t Marcia ever say that isn’t her handwriting????? Why doesn’t any adult ask that question????
Exactly. All she has to do is show an example or ten of her usual handwriting. It's not rocket science.
Good point
Mike went to talk to Mr. Randolph. Mr. Randolph showed Mike the paper. Mike said that he can't confirm if the drawing and the print underneath it was done by Marcia but the name and the class at the top of the paper is definitely Marcia's handwriting.
She did say it was her handwriting and her drawing but she had said, she never wrote down her teacher's name nor the word hippopotamus. No offense to the character Marcia, but it is kind of hard to believe a student when they admit to almost 100% of what they did but then say that it isn't what they did.
Marcia could've left her paper unattended and anyone could've written that remark.
Marcia should have taken a piece of paper and drawn a bowling bowl then put the principals name on it and gave it to him and said I’m out d$&k.
It’s crazy seeing E.G. Marshall playing a principal on The Brady Bunch. A talented dramatic actor.
It was to reunite him with Robert Reed. They starred together on The Defenders
Mr. Randolph, I can understand discipline as much as anyone else. Punishing innocent people is how people in cities and states for crimes they never committed is how the government gets sued. How about going to the class and asking the class about the situation and see if the person is will come forward and admit what they did. Save many situations.
Maureen is a wonderful actress. To be able to cry and show that kind of emotion as a young girl on a TV set and stay in character had to be difficult....
I agree! She was a very skilled actress. All the kids were. Great show!
Jenny got her feelings hurt.
Maureen McCormick wrote in the book she wrote it was very easy for her to cry on camera. She was not happy in her real home life and when thinking about that she could cry for real
Mike and Carol acted like jerks and did not believe Marcia at first, but they came around eventually. Does Mr. Randolph ever apologize to her?
Yes, he DOES apologize. And so do Mike and Carol. And Marcia apologizes to Jenny when she finds out it wasn't her either.
@@retroguy9494 thanks, I did not remember Randolph apologizing
I don't think "jerks" is the word I'd used. Maybe they were being a bit biased toward the principle based on him being a "responsible man", as in not being one to just put off onto the kids without having a strong reason.
@@retroguy9494 Yes Mr Brady. Gets itching powder dumped all over his when the boys intend it to happen to the girls coming to the party........ Let's just spoil the hell out of this episode.
It's not like she threw a chair at the teacher.
LOL, yeah 2023 in da houzzze!!!!
for real
You mean like what these undisciplined and deeply disturbed kids are doing nowadays? Imagine a time in this country when very few kids were bullied and the ones who were weren't so traumatized from it that they resorted to sue*a*side and the worst thing that kids did back then if they decided to act up was talk in class, pass notes, throw spitballs or maybe put a "kick me" sign on some poor unsuspecting doofus if he was really bad. Those days are long gone now unfortunately and now we have only have a future generation filled with sociopaths and degenerates to look forward to. So much has changed in only 50 years, it's crazy.
It looks like there were issues of people getting "easily offended" back then.
@@martymcfly5764 This comment could have been written nearly half a century ago and it would have reflected how adults felt about the "latest" generation of kids.
My parents would’ve canceled the party anyway for raising my voice at them.
Jenny forgot her pearls that day.
For some reason the thumbnail made me think the principal would be the one to cancel her party lmao
NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING AND JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS WITHOUT FURTHER INVESTIGATION FIRST
never post in all caps..............
Calm down. It's just a sitcom
E.G. Marshall's initials stand for Everybody's Guess, according to him.
I thought it stood for Egotistical Goon.
Well, his real name was Everett Eugene Grunz. So perhaps when he took the stage name, 'Marshall,' the E.G. was for 'Everett Grunz.'
That is George Washington
I guess that Marcia's schoolteacher looked like George Washington.
I feel bad for Jenny. She looks so sad when talking to Marcia.
I got fired from a job for doing something like this. Only there was no Jenny Wilton.
marcia is an iconic queen
Jenny Wilton was very forgiving.
Yep. I think she clearly got the rawest deal.
That's what friends do, they forgive each other.
At least she missed the itching powder!
What was that white powder that fell on Mike's head?
@@beachbum777 Flour!
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia
Principal would make the news today and be fired!
Well this episode seems incomplete considering how MR. RANDOLPH apparently skated through unpunished, when he's responsible for all the suffering in this episode - Marcia's lost party, Paula's lost invite, Mrs. Denton's (apparently) lost self-esteem - they're all his fault!
So, it's Mr Randolph's fault taht Paula wrote that remark on Marca's paper and got her railroaded?
@@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398 Well Paula SAID she wrote the remark. She was never seen or caught doing it. And after Marcia chews her out, Paula volunteers to go to Mr. Randolph herself to confess, without being asked. Sounds like Paula and Randolph were in cahoots...!! Randolph put her up to the deed and Paula volunteered to confess knowing she'd get no punishment. Very crafty...
Great acting by Florence Henderson. Her look at 2:33 says, "something is not right here and she knows it".
Marcia did exactly what the Principal did. Jump to conclusions without all the facts. All set up for a very moral ending, as only the Brady Bunch can do.
I had a student who almost got expelled for a situation she never did in the first place. I solved the mystery on the day before she almost got expelled. One: the signature was false and two(thanks to me): THE DATE WAS FALSE. When the counselor and the principal found out, the expulsion was PURRMANENTLY ADJOURNED and the girl got a MAJOR APOLOGY TO THE POWER OF INFINITY!!! I know that girl felt she got VICTORY!!! ALSO SHE GOT READMITTED.
you used to detective skills just like batman and i am a huge fan of batman myself i still have some comic's stored away i would sell them cause they can be worth something
@@johnnyboy-ws3we I hear where you are coming from.
@wonderwoman5732 yeah how about you were you a comic book reader and collector to cause I got some batman comic's and i got one were he even meets spawn to
A would be teacher with such poor grammar and spelling, ,none of us can compete with your imagination
@@idrishall6126 Is this statement good use of grammar: "I have got to get home before 5 pm or I will get spanked."
I was always taught you don't see them do it don't accuse them it
Huh?
These days, graffitti on people walls and fences is ok as these 'artist' vandals are expressing themselves!!
The teacher was the troublemaker! She had no business snooping in Marcia's desk. Even if she was cleaning you DO NOT read other people's things! Carol had no business telling Marcia her party was off. When something like that is planned you do not cancel it! Marcia did nothing wrong and her parents still believed a stranger over their own daughter!
My Junior year English teacher _would_ read our journals. It was part of the grade.... I think the teacher _would_ have a right to inspect the desks of her class room to make sure nothing "illegal" were being kept in them.
What planet are you from? Students don't own school property. And those desks would have been shared by several students during the day. Teacher has every right to inspect things in a classroom.
@@judithrussell2812 Students notebooks do NOT belong to the teacher! Nor does their papers!
eg marshall and hope sherwood are legends , also always adored this episode
Is that the President from Superman 2...EG Marshall?
PARENTS AND ADULTS, OUR CONSTRUCTION SAYS THAT'S A PERSON INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. WE MUST ABIDE BY THE CONSTITUTION. ALSO FOR CHILDREN AS WELL.
They would believe the principal over their own kid. that's mean. My mom would be on that Principal like a fly.
Karen Mom
@@RichV20 There is a fine balance............. Both sides could have used a little more tact.
Principal asked her if it was her handwriting, and she said "Yes"
Yall don't know what it's like to slam the phone down on someone and it shows.
😂😂😂 I remember everyone used to do that in the 70s and 80s
I can't even imagine a school actually disciplining a child these days.
They do, but only if you misgender someone.
@@sylviaisgod6947 Yeah they get sued for pushing kids for something so stupid.
Only the poor students.
Jenny didn't at least ask why she was uninvited?
Paula did it!!!!
Obviously it was Jan who did it
With all of the problems in our schools today...mass shootings.. overcrowded class rooms...bad teachers..drugs...this is hilarious Marcia would get in trouble for this...gotta love the Brady world😂😂
I remember thinking Marcia is so much older than me.🥰
What a student says about a teacher on her own time shouldn't really be any of the school's business. Obviously, in the real world students gossip with each other all the time about that sort of thing and exchange drawings like that and usually no one is the wiser.
The fact that the school and the teacher found out about this particular communication shouldn't change that really.
Mrs Denton or the principal should have just tossed the drawing and forgotten the whole thing. Or maybe quietly discussed the issue with Marcia without punishing her.
This isn't the same thing as being openly disruptive in class.
I think 😅
I remember the episode, but never realized E.G. Marshall was the principal.
That’s what it was as a kid in the old days. Whatever the principal said was the absolute truth as far as parents were concerned….
Why didn't the principal or her parents check her writing against the writing on the paper?
as a parent myself, I would side with my son first before taking someone else’s word over my child. His teachers always raved about what he good student he was and always well behaved. He’s grown now, will be 20 this year. Even his bosses at his work love him.
Scandalous!!!
Some real life parents of that era likely would have assumed Marcia was guilty, beat her ass and cancelled the party and asked questions later.
Yep. Now wonder some adults hated their childhoods! I wouldn't blame them one bit if they grew up to get laws passed calling some of this shit "child abuse". Naturally, they go overboard in the other direction.
Marcia Marcia Marcia.
Pretty harsh even for back then. I'd only have her stay an hour for one day & write "I will be respectful to my teacher". Especially since Marcia was already a good student. I know I had to write "I will not talk in class" like 100 xs, lol
E.G.Marshall as a guess star! I’m impressed
E.G. Marshall is great! 😊
E.G. Marshall was also the host of CBS Radio Mystery Theater.
Staying after school for just 1 hour for a week? Really? Whats so hard about that? Atleast Marcia didn't get expelled.
She couldn’t prove her innocence.
fight the power!
Ah, back when parents believed the school over their kid and actually expected their kids to have respect for authority, and there were consequences when you didn't. Mike and Carol didn't even sue the school or march down to the principal to insist that their precious little angel would never have done something like this.
What a stupid punishment. One stupid remark and doodle does not warrant a week's detention. I've seen children receive only a fifth of the punishment for physically bullying other children. That plus her parents cancelling the party was stupid.
They didn't play back in the 70s. If she went to a school in the south she might have been paddled.
he looks like bob hope
They should have let the school art teacher decide whether Marcia’s drawing resembled George Washington or not.
holy sheet, just....imagine, DISCIPLINE AND CONSEQUENCES, I had this even back in the early 2000's as a high school student, never to be seen again.
So looking at the office, it appears that the head of the FBI is the Principal of the school?
Cloned into Horowitz of the OIG.
Ahh the good old days where parents listened to the teachers, not the students. Now it´s anarchy.
Yeah, and look how it worked out for 'em.
Hour after school then your driving my azz home
Was the principal in 12 Angry Men?
yes, the late, great eg marshall
By the deceived appearance the head Master didn't see how his actions had affected Marcia.
Ohhhhhhh MARCIA MARCIA MARCIA!!!!! 🤪
Is this the PRESIDENT from SUPERMAN 1978?
That’s him
She was framed!
I remember when I first saw this episode. I had believed Marcia the entire time!
She didn't do it. She got so upset
Marcia was right
Marcia was right about the drawing but wrong about casting blame without proof. Marcia treated her friend worse than the principal treated her.
@@richardgarcia618 Yes I agree but I meant when she talking to her parents. Marcia was raised respect people in authority. Etc. They should've seen it at first. Aftermath she was trying process of elimination... writers messed up IMO. LoL
At the end of this episode, Marcia’s friend Paula admits to having written the comment. But “she didn’t mean any harm” so Paula somehow gets off scot-free at the end. NOT GOOD!
Maybe knowing all the crap she caused made her remorseful and that was seen as punishment enough and that she learned her lesson. Sometimes a little mercy is in order.
Marcia Brady... the original party girl.
That’s EG Marshall!
Great green dress
Was nt that EG Marshall?
Yes, that is him
I always liked Jan but gotta admit ..Marcia was hot lol
And a better actress
I’m just glad the principal didn’t try anything funny with her like mine did.
The one that played Jenny is Robert's Reed daughter.
Not quite. The actress who played Jenny was actually producer Sherwood Schwartz' daughter. Reed's daughter was one of the girls at the slumber party though.
Marcia Brady's Slumber Party Almost Gets Canceled
"You don't believe me, either. And if you don't, I don't want a party, or anything ever from you!"
Okay, no food or clothing. And kick her out of the house, too.
That's what MY parents would do if I ever said that!
Parents cant tell she telling the truth?
Jenny Wilton: 13 Going On 30.
OHHHH!!!!!!!!NOOOOO!!!!!!! Dont cancel the party .OHHH!!!!!!GODNOOOOOO!!!!!!!MARCIA!!!!!MARCIA!!!!!!!!MARCIA!!!!!!!!!
Too bad they didn't know their kids better than that.
